A belated welcome! edit
Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Idlem. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

List of suicides edit
Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edit to List of suicides, as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept unsourced material or original research. This includes material lacking cited sources, or obtained through personal knowledge or unpublished synthesis of previously published material. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. :-) Nightscream (talk) 07:20, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
- The fact that André Fortin killed himself is well-known, but weither or not he commited a ritual seppuku is controversial. I'm going to add a reference, though. I thought the page on him was enough to qualify.--Idlem (talk) 21:51, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
- Wikipedia's policies on Verifiability require citations for material, regardless of how well it is. One article cannot be cited as a source in another article, because that is circular sourcing. Thank you for adding the citation. It is much appreciated. If you ever need help or have questions about editing, feel free to ask. Thanks. :-) Nightscream (talk) 00:10, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
